3rd International Conference on Mobile Data Management, January 2002
With the advent of mobile computers, new challenges arise for software designers.
This paper focuses on disconnected operation: making mobile computers work well
on shared data whether the network is available or not. Initially the
shared data is cached on the mobile computer. Modifications and additions to
this cached data will be reconciled with the shared data when the mobile computer
is reconnected to the network. Conflict resolution will be used to reconcile
conflicting changes. In this paper, we examine these issues by adding support for
disconnected operation to Thor, an object-oriented database.
